The place should be a highly flooding area..
When it rains, the floor at the half part of the building becomes the ground floor because of the water. So, the elevator, which can, may be, travel only half way, can take him to the top floor.
I am a CRAZY ENGINEER😁

This is the best way I can answer this one! I am puzzled by your puzzle. I am looking the question through other angles though:shifty:

Ummmm... The building is water proof! 😁
Hey, just joking!
Taking it seriously. But can you give some clue, does it have to do something with engineering?

Haahah. No way . I cannot give any clue just is that answer is very much relative to some words in questions. This is probably the best known and most celebrated of all lateral thinking puzzles. It is a true classic.

The man must be a dwarf or a man with a very less height.
He cannot reach the upper level buttons in the lift. What say?

Thats Correct,
The man is very, very short and can only reach halfway up the elevator buttons. However, if it is raining then he will have his umbrella with him and can press the higher buttons with it.😁

Ah! I can't stop banging my head on my desk! Why didn't think that way?
Thanks for that brain racking. I like it. Looking forward to see more questions here.
One question- Why doesn't this guy just carry that umbrella with him always? IF he would have done that, no one would have made this question in the first place!!!

here goes simple one -
A man is wearing black. Black shoes, socks, trousers, lumper, gloves and balaclava. He is walking down a black street with all the street lamps off. A black car is coming towards him with its light off but somehow manages to stop in time. How did the driver see the man?
Very simple guys, answer fast 😀

It's day time. So, the man is visible to the driver of the car. So, the car stops in time.

It would be better to keep a chair in the lift so that he can stand on it!

One more -
A man walks into a bar and asks the barman for a glass of water. The barman pulls out a gun and points it at the man. The man says 'Thank you' and walks out.
(This puzzle claims to be the best of the genre. It is simple in its statement, absolutely baffling and yet with a completely satisfying solution. Most people struggle very hard to solve this one yet they like the answer when they hear it or have the satisfaction of figuring it out. )

Frankly, this one's too tough to me. Why did he go to a bar just to have a glass of water!!!
Thats not the point I am pondering right now! But still, I AM baffled...

Sorry for breaking my silence this late. I have read this question in some book and the answer is:
The man had hiccups.
The barman recognized this from his speech and drew the gun in order to give him a shock.
It worked and cured the hiccups. So the man no longer needed the water.

Now on similar track one more -
A man went to a part y and drank some of the punch. He then left early. Everyone else at the party who drank the punch subsequently died of poisoning. Why did the man not die?

The poison in the punch came from ice cubes.When the man drank the punch for the first time the ice was fully frozen.Gradually it melted poisoning the punch.so everybody who drunk the punch died because of poison.

Any one living in Mumbai can answer that.
The man came early and what he got was the punch from the old stock. He drank up all the old stock, as there was only a small amount left. After that, the new stock was opened. And the new stock was poisoned. So, the others were killed by the poison and the man was lucky enough to enjoy the punch!

All the above answers???
Frooty, With due respect, Kindly explain, because what I think that the answer said by Praveena doesn't give a logical answer. The ice, if it melts, is not ice anymore, it becomes water. No matter how 'frozen' ice is, when it gets in the punch, and when it tries to cool the punch, the ice melts because it absorbs the heat from the punch. So, kindly let me know why you said the above statement. Please justify your answer.

The ice was fully frozen when he drank the punch at first , Gradually it started melting (it doesnt mean it becomes water ) and thats why poisoning the punch slowly.
